Got Some if You Need It...

I have been watching youtube clips from the 9-12 march for the last few hours and I am numb. I planned to write a post about the role of government and taxation and empowerment, and right and left, and red and blue, and me and you and blah, blah, blah.

Instead I chose to listen to the new Pearl Jam album and fill my heart with a little hope. I want to forget about Obama and Beck and Wilson and all the other nonsense.

Sitting half away across the world watching what to all intents and purpose has become a foreign population to me wrangle with their arguments is too much for my soul to bear. I am tired of fighting and arguing. I am tired of proving and disproving. I am tried of being right and I am tired of being wrong.

A few days ago I wrote that politics is our inability to be truly empathetic human beings and the more I get mired in arguments and positions, the more I see that it is tearing me apart. I do not want to hinder my values and morals in policies and debates.

I hope to simply live by example and spread my ideas though my actions. This is obviously easier said than done and tomorrow I will probably share ten videos or articles that make my hair stand up on the back of my neck, but tonight I am here and the guitars are blasting, my feet are tapping and I want to tear my myself away from my skin and rip my own insides out and let you know that I got some if you need it…..



Every night with the lights out
Where you gone? What's wrong? AUEAGH
Every time, you can try but can't turn on
A rock song

I got some if you need it... (x4)

Get it now, get it on before it's gone
Let's everybody carry on, carry on
Get it now, Set it off before it's gone
Again, everybody carry on, carrying on

Precipitation, which side are you on?
Are you on the rise? Are you falling down?
Let me know
Come on let's go yeah

Got some if you need it
I got some if you need it...

Are you a big drop?
Are you a puddle full of detriment, oh?

Got some... I got some...
Carry on... Carry on...
Got some if you need it

When something’s on let me shed a little light on it
When something’s cold let me put a little fire on it
If something’s old I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something’s gone I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

When something’s broke I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
If something’s bored I wanna put a little excited on it
If something’s low I wanna put a little high on it
If something’s lost I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

When signals cross, I want to put a bit of straight on it.
If there's no love, I want to try to love again.
I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I promise a way to make light
I'll dig your grave
We'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
